Wife is finally sleeping, who wants to fight?
Man.... Oliver needs to come back so i can emote him disappointingly.
Anyway here's a very minimal and basic story spoiler comparing remake and OG,
||Plot wise everything is the same between games until you start seeing ghosts||
And the game straight up tells you what they are so there's no mystery
Sweet
Sorry Snake but I am spoken for
Bruh i made this dude RAGE in KL with Raiden
I don't play KL often but when I do its glorious
What does <insert name here> have that I don't?
And 3 straight Smoke/Frosts
Thats enough KL for me until next season
Exactly that.
LMFAO
I'll be back in like 10 minutes
Ok! I'm getting water too
@kindred osprey im back
Ok
Me too
Sorry for taking long
Also stopped to eat
All good.
Bruh they nerfed Sub again
Why?
Klone didn't freeze in the corner
I backdashed that one
Happy?
I am simply not used to a projectile being safe on block
Not safe.
Plus
Thats what I meant
are the koth's fucked?
As in laggy?
ye
Since launch
):
Was gonna say I wanted to watch you guys while I work on a work project for a bit
Robbing crackheads is a specialty of mine
LMAO
The double armor
Shao Can't do anything against Raiden
Lmao
No mids and his overhead or low are too slow
Let's see a proper low in action
AWWWWWW
Rep was bullied

Sarrena bar eating really makes a difference
DROPPPPPPPPP
Last one
I need to sleep
Lmao
Didn't even need the FB
Wasted
GGs!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the games
Lotta fun
Tanya & Sonya 48% Meterless / 50% One Bar midscreen bnb's! Thank you to the Tanya community for getting me woke on this team!
💖 77
Tanya is a neat character I enjoy her but she is fairly one note. Also she works best with Goro
My only reason to be interested in her is because she is best buds with Mileena
LMFAO
Which is maximum unfortunate
Tanya has the long weapon but she's not whip from KOF or Axl from GGST
So like eh
More like Billy tbh
And I couldn't care less unfortunately. So it is unfortunate
I might take a look and try to learn her later
I like her but would rather not play her
Bffs
@potent field
Reading this Shang guide. How do you even enforce S1 stagger pressure?
Ok
So Tyler
Gimme Tanya bnbs
And @north mango
Gimme the Kitana corner infinite unblockable setup
I wanna abuse people online
Tanya BnBs are just do string into drill
Idk specifically about Shang
But for Mileena, you have to use 12 and F4 often, cuz these are overheads, making your opponents afraid of blocking low
Then, when you press just St. 1, they'll be blocking high and that's +5 for Mileena, meaning the pressure can continue and she can do smt like St 1, St 1, St1, and when they try to duck, you do F1 cuz that's the mid
And that's it?
Nothing after drill?
Sorry I'm grocery shopping. Just got out of my car
Rlx, no rush
Kameo call like Goro or Scorp
Am labbing...
Whatever her 2 into staff grab is. Into spin kicks or another drill
Ok!
30%
Thxxxxx
Do 2412 or 4F33 (B24 is easier since it launches them further) into DB1 (Do DB1B if you opt for B24 starter or else the fan will fly offscreen), immediately go into close Wind Bomb and grab right away.
Due to scaling, most damage you are gonna get is about 250 even with max resources but hey, free dmg
Recommended combos afterwards:
- Meterless:
B24 DB1B for another loop
B24 DB1B, JK, 4 DF2 - 1 bar:
3 DB3 EX, B24 DB1B for another loop
3 DB3 EX, B24 DB1B, J34 - 2 bar:
3 DB3 EX, B24 DB1B, BF1B EX, J34
It's fine
I labbed smt
Who wants to test my Tanya?
Did you do S3 into drill for the ender?
Thxxxxxxxx
I will lab that rn
No
I've been doing
Whatever into Drill, Goro, and then j. 2, 2 1+3, Spin Kicks
Got me to 300 on optimal starter and like 280 from St. 3 into Drill
I also tried doing j. 124, air fireball
Works and the dmg is almost the same
But I think oki is worse
And a bit less dmg
Lemme know if you need any help. It is super nasty and currently under the radar
But tbh there are worse things left intact in the game so...
Yeah, prob won't get nerfed
And it's not like the dmg is great
I gotta eat breakfast then I'm gonna see what my numbers are
I know with scorpion she got a decent amount of damage but it was 293 since it was simple and like took 4 moves
Really all it was. Was her mid string, drill Scorp call, and that one air string that leads to HKD
Honestly
I feel like she might not need much after that
Her neutral seems good
Her neutral is odd as hell
Because most of her dangerous tools are highs at the mid range
But she can yolo drill into Goro to catch you ducking
GOT IT
Thxxxxxx
Now I just need to get it consistent
Lmao
That is the Mileena special
I am good at that
- It is gonna break every armor except Ashrah's
- Only way to avoid it is delay getup, but even then Kitana can in turn simply throw later
- If the armor is broken, the following combo will deal unscaled damage (and they won't have enough meter to break it)
Oh shitttttt
Amazing
I really hope this stays and doesn't get overly nerfed or removed completely, because aside from this she has no dirt😭
Yeah, she does seem too honest
You opened my eyes to her dirt
Now I am inspired to take her further
https://youtu.be/0S_7N7pXPKg?si=m4jsE14z6T7W7n4M
Honestly this video is everything I dislike about Tanya

I do have way too many chars rn tho
See how many times she's does that spin kick or drill it's just a bit stupid
I mean, Mileena does ball roll and teleport so...
I'm ok with that
Yeah because she's a diseased crackhead. Tanya isn't
Or rather I'm not a fan of the character playing that way. Not my style
With no overheads, I think bomb setups are fair lol
And I'm glad to hear that 
Got it
Makes sense
You like honest good gameplay
Your base is strong
Agree
Not like she can do them in neutral or out of corner either way
No matter what people say Liu has minimal dirt.
She can actually do this setup midscreen using SubZero kameo, but only for two reps
But I agree, it is pretty situational
Oh shit
But I need Sonya for the combos
For what combos?
Kitana combos
I learned some new ones with Sonya
Tanya I labbed Goro
I know Scorp could probably do more dmg
But I need yolo safety
Hmm Sonya is good for combos, but nothing else
For yolo safety I recommend Goro
Her projectile is plus on block
Even tho there is a gap before it
And she recharges kinda fast
And her grab does fucking 140
Ok that makes sense lol
Sonya isn't really bad, just...
Not exactly great either
What she does, others do better
My fav kameo tbh
That's her problem lol
Kinda same lol
Exactly
For pressure you'd go for Lao
For combos Scorp
But Frost > Goro for me when it comes to Kitana
I like safe armor reversals
I do wish I played more Frost tho
I like her A LOT
I've been using Frost with Sindel only
And Smoke
Reptile doesn't really need her anymore
But he could use her
She helps me retain safety, chip damage and counterzoning
Reptile doesn't need anyone lol
In a sense he is perfectly capable on his own
He needed dmg before the buffs last patch
Now he can just have QOL stuff
Maybe Tremor will help him
Motaro has been doing an amazing job with Reptile
The TP combos are optimal, and he helps A LOT with the zoning
Also saves me sometimes from my yolo full screen slides
And Rep has a safe way to set up turret, so I think that's great synergy there
Yeah Tanya really only hits 298-345 between no bar and one bar
And that's ok, like...
She has range and the yolo
Alright, do people think a patch is gonna happen with Omni Man or nah?
Since MK tom brady put out a video. But the second he said they should buff reptile I just stopped watching
Buff Reptile.
He needs more
Nah I just immediately heard that and had no interest in what he has to say
Let him move after he throws out that ball? Make his armored low faster? Immediately not interested
Wow
Ok, those are a bit too much
I think Reptile just needs his overhead to charge a bit faster
And maybe a bit faster or longer reaching F2
Or more plus frames
He could use those
MKTomBrady is washed up and isn’t a top tier player anymore
I do think Reptile should have at least one special that's safe on block
Slow Ball maybe?
There is a gap there from most of his strings
They could make it safe
Not even plus
Just safe
Or acid spit
That shit isn't even useful at all without Motaro
Make it safe on block
If there is a gap there, I don't see why not
Sonya's is, Motaro and Lao also are
Slow ball has a gap that can be interrupted, so like...
Why not make it safe?
Li Mei
Is she safe on projectile?
Sonya and Motaro are Kameos
Her EX is -2
If you EX it
Or it's zero I always forget
0
Damn even better than I thought
Reptile shouldn’t get a safe meterless launcher in your face like that
I think they need to buff other parts of him
I mean, he always had it
It's like his signature move
Like Ice ball for Sub and Spear for Scorp
The utility is different in this game
But I do agree now that you said it
It launches
But Acid Spit?
That should be safe
It literally leads to nothing without Motaro
Actually
Even better
Just make his full string safe
F211 or F311
Just increase pushback a little
Leads to nothing without Scorp
Shit...
Ok, that is bad
It's just one of them things Luna. Just a not amazing move that attaches to the kit
Buff Nitara
Make it a mid at least, and let her pressure from it on hit
Well she gets a "50/50" from it some people say. Low mid grab or overhead
Ah
She does?
Ok, less worse
Because it doesn't push people back as far as Reptiles
But I just wish the EX was a mid
Reptile gets nothing from it
Only F3, which is a high and minus
Safe, but minus
Reptile relies too much on gimmicks imo. He’s not complete
But it has more range than Nitara's though
He’s a shittier smoke
If he had a reliable overhead, would be much better
Even uncharged, B2 is too slow
And no reach
How slow is his?
Idk the exact frame data
But like...
Much slower than Smoke's
If it's faster than 28 frames I'm gonna bring up Nitara once again
That shit is so slow
Buff Johnny
Reptile don't need shit and he also said make helicopter 1 bar but tone down the chip damage and don't let it launch
I think this was the obvious way to nerf him but no we didn’t get it
Isn't he like publicly retired from fgc? Anyone retired would be washed lol
Idk. Sometimes he thinks he’s like god but I think he’s just content creator now
Honestly, I fucking hate the character. But I heard of a neat thing for sub. Where his overhead launcher should be 2 inputs. So you can only get the overhead or get it and the launch
Would help him a lot if the first hit only was safe
He can use a Kameo or whatever to cancel the first hit tho
Well since we're making everyone SS + tier...
Raiden:
B2 +5 on block
Wakeup teleport invulnerable
F4 now has the same range as Reptile B3
Geras
F1 is 9 frames
Thanos Snap now needs only 1 clock. Combo reset needs 3
Adds Quick Sand from MK11
Never wanna see quick sands again
Oh dude let's give Nitara 3 air dashes and only after that it would cost meter
Also give her a command grab that reverses the opponents controls
And her passive after blocking long enough bats show up and drain health healing Nitara
I think these are balanced changes
Okay but in all seriousness make Sindel’s back 2, 1 or 2 frames faster startup and get a better hitbox for anti airs on her stand 1 or stand 2
Jade or Quick Sand. Take your pick
No joke, I think EX spikes should launch from young shang. To give him a proper anti air.
I’ll take Skarlet
I'll give you Skarlet, but with a different VA
You didn’t like the other one
Her VA from 11? Favorite female VA.
Giving you a different one just to be evil
Skarlet
But MK9 gameplay
So why you want a different one
You asked for her so you get her with a different VA

I’m not sure if I want mk9 Skarlet or a trap/setup character similar to 11 but different
I straight up don't remember how Skarlet played in mK9
She was big rushdown
Not gonna lie this man is SPITTING. I know poke special has been a thing forever but with Kameos its honestly a war crime. Non stop turn stealing with almost no risk ( in a game full of highs and terrible mids btw )

What terrible mids are he talking about? Or are my characters just exempt for that

This game doesn’t have great mids in general. MKX had a lot of good mids
Hm I never played that one or at least never payed attention to them
Unfortunate I suppose
In general mids are pretty slow in this game. The one guy who has a good mid is Johnny and everyone hates him
Liu has pretty good mids and people hate those too
Johnny, Liu and Geras have the fastest mids in the game. Unless another character has a 9 10 or 11 frame mid
9-12 used to be pretty common tho
Half the cast had a 9 frame mid in Mk11
And I'm glad only Johnny has one in MK1
Because Jax frame trapping you with F3 KB was just not fun
I don’t see anything wrong with fast mids. They just beat poke mash is all
It was more so the KB's attached to them i had an issue with
That and as Kotal it was a pain in the ass to hit people using them
KB’s were just had imo
The only one I universally liked was the D2 one
Absolutely hated the throw ones with a passion
The most universally hated one
Super saucy Geras combo into armor devouring clone set up in a real game 👀
💖 85
What a horrendous character
@kindred osprey i think i just played against trainee of yours
Mileena scorp in KL that just yoloed everywhere
And got destroyed for it
Made a decision to grind KL to Master rank then call it
I want that evil looking Kombat kard
Oh my god Koisy made it to Elder God without losing
https://vxtwitter.com/noobde/status/1720537768068039146?t=AIGrGmznqz6X9IfzqkDGGg&s=19
Y'all think crossplay or discrimination is more important?
Discrimination?
The WiFi filter
The amount of complaints about SF ranked and people denying them matches because they're on WiFi
It's a survey to see what people want in these upcoming updates
My to do list would be,
1.Crossplay
2. KL WiFi filter
3. Ranked set switch
4. Ping filter
I'll fight online wifi warriors in kasual most days but if I am forced to fight another 200 ping Mileena, Smoke or literally anyone in a FT3 my desire to play drops per round
I feel that
I'm gonna hopefully try out ranked pretty regularly next season. I just want rewards for the characters I play
I actually just want a cool skin for Shang
Wife said she wants to watch The Boys. Neither of us have seen it and she didn't make the 1st 10 minutes of the first episode
Yep
Yeah that sounds about right
I want to show it to my friend but I think there's a few parts she really wouldn't enjoy watching
https://vxtwitter.com/DeoxysSucks/status/1720598649737007335?t=UEvxENfHP5jQhnf-BwU4ow&s=19

I just can't anymore bro

Also also

I didn't even know assists had types
LMFAO
Yeah, my students still got a lot to learn
I'm so confused, the combo count was resetting but the combo never actually ended
If any of y'all ever fight a God shang tell me the tech if he beats you
Only fought one Shang in KL
And I was in Master, I think
But I didn't even see any tech, just beat him and moved foward
Lmao
Anyone free to play rn?
Sad, I need to witness some great shang gameplay. One of the tricks I've seen it stagger but like just walk forward and then press to catch a D1
You give me a bit and I can play
Just @ me whenever
Ok
Me here
Alright I might not have super long time to play
It's fine
Just take me out of KL
@kindred osprey I'll be down in like 15 minutes
LMFAO
What's wrong with KL Luna?
Fuck Scorpion
It's all I have to say
That fucking full screen low
And the spear man
Says as she has 2 full screen lows
I think he's gotta be the most annoying character
I demand a refund on this statement
Scorp is worse imo
Sub has what feels like everything that's not damage
I don't think as long as I live I'll ever learn how to beat him
DROP
Man this shit is literally king all over again
I have to say
Idk what to do
I might migrate to KOF sooner than I thought
I don't feel like I did
Sht
Good one
I have reached Master rank in KL
Even 3-0 a Johnny to get there
@kindred osprey @wind hedge still playing?
We are!!!!
Koth?
You wanna make a room?
Yeah
Sindel isn't doing REALLY well
My professional opinion is Sindel needs less range
I am happy tho
Almost got your Liu
That hair normal feels it reaches the end of the earth
One sec, I entered afk brb
Man
Raiden never stops
Those lows and that overheaf
At least when Reptile does the low, his turn ends
Random likes Li Mei
Yo
How to do 3 flame skulls?
Only did 2 when I played Shang
Long leg
The Shang doing WORK
You make me wanna learn him
It's in the MOVE LIST
LMFAO
I DON'T READ
Luna I'm gonna take away your controller until you learn how to read
D4 just happens to be a war crime
SPIKES
Overhead
Spikes
Overhead
Overhead
Overhead
SPIKESSSSSSSS
Overhead
Beat me up gotta eat
You just convinced me
I'll lab Shang on my brother's account later
And if I learn some combos, I'll buy him
WOOHOOO
TIL Dive kick combos into a throw
When I tell you. Sub has a list of the most annoying moves
Its just really klone
It wasn't in MK11 so anyone who hadn't played an earlier MK game have no idea about the shenanigans
He used to be able to yeet the klone full screen
Long D1, A weirdly slow dive kick, klone, his long F1 string? Whichever one he slides with. And just weirdly amazing strike throw
Nooooooo
Buff Reptile
Just general gap removal
I haven't even tried Tanya
Don't a lot of characters have gaps?
Any Reptile buffs are gonna cost you a B3 range nerf
Not in a basic 12 and 21 string between the first and second hit
Every other characters gaps are between the 2nd and 3rd hit or the last two hits
OH YESSSSSSS
Man, Luna's day ones are much better than my characters
Happy Spiral Arrow noises
SPAIROARO

Nah
I just got lucky
Don't remember equipping JCVD
Yep
Wow
Thought it was 120
Goro only 110...
Buff Goro.
Normal back throws is 11
Most forward ones are 110
Man, perhaps I got to KOF this weekend
For the sake of the game I hope Johnny gets something changed when Omni man drops
Let me actually start the download
No more plus frames
Oh yeah, I'm done with this game for the weekend
Forgot, respectfully. How not stupid my characters are
GGs
I still don't get why the hell Rekio has DNF duel normals
Yeah the match just straight up ended for me
Lmfao
It's fine
GGs!!!!
Ggs
As I put this game down. I really want to know why do the characters I pick feel so weirdly weak
Compared to this damn cast
Imo they feel weak because you don't know the whole move list. You and Luna each know high damaging combos but don't know how to use your characters entire kit
I know my entire move list
It's just I never know how to use
I get given this whole tool box and just feel lost in everything that's not "Oh it's a fireball"
Or like anti air
My problem is the same as Kof and SF, I feel...
Approach
I don't know how to
So thats what you need to work on. Like if Shang's F4 string is blocked cancel into Bed of Spikes and reset neutral
Bed is negative
You're also way too predictable
Punishable
Shit is like -22
People duck a lot so there's no point in using high strings at all
Like his S1 is great stagger pressure but it really doesn't mean much
His S2 is actually a great combo starter, but lacks range and is a high
So sometimes spend a bar and make it -14 with that much pushback. Not much is punishing it
Old fireballs are good, but like people move pretty consistently so I can't use them that effectively
I feel a lot of things can punish that.
I'll lab it when I feel I feel like hoping on the game.
But I'd imagine Nitara, Sub, Liu, Raiden, Mileena, maybe Smoke etc can punish something -14
Like if they have a fast moving special they punish it.
Hell step one is seeing what everything my character does for like 10-30 minutes. And then attempt to brain Storm what I can do with this tool box. Normally it's not much
Shadow Kick and Sub Slide are the only moves I've tested so far that can punish EX Bed
Mileena ball can't, Liu flying kick can't,
Actually I take it back Sub can't punish EX bed
Its gonna take god tier timing for anyone except Johnny to punish EX bed
When my power comes back I'll see.
Nitara literally has 1 frame to input and punish EX Bed
Because -14 is such a massive number
I don't base my stuff much off of if it's is a computer only thing. Since testing shit with D1s. If it punishes it's normally not worth it.
I really thing Johnny is the only character that can punish EX bed
95% safe too me. Doesn't feel safe in this game. At least for spending one entire bar when I'm probably really close to getting comboed
Most of his strings are safe to begin with I'm thinking right.
At least the ones I use, B2, S1,F4 and S2 I'm almost positive they all are safe
Li Mei charging knee, Sub Slide, Mileena ball, arw all 14 frames and if you hold down you can crouch under Liu flying kick
Pressure is something I can lab at least. Just basic ish math. It's the usefulness of these things in neutral and how to even enforce my pressure. This is common FGs sense I can't bring to this game it feels
Like when you fight me with Sub you get in for free it feels like. I don't know how to stop that without just staying planted and only blocking. Therefore removing about most of neutral. With both Liu and Shang. That leaves me with just having to block everything out.
Honestly I think I'm running out of gas to improve
Or burning out. One of the 2
SHANG IS SO FUN
I just got his 420 bnb consistent
With Sareena tho
Wow
They really be charging 8 fucking dollars for Shang?
Man, a character is never more than 6
Kof sells 3 for 15
LMFAO
Bought him

I'd like to get some community feedback. Today I was put in a situation where I had to decide if this is allowed or if we ban this during our 5k Grandfinals. Since this doesnt seem intended i made the decision to…
💖 37
I wonder if Jax is gonna get changed
It’s bullshit but everyone has Jax unblockable setups
To ban a player for doing it seems kinda wrong
Ban em all. You don't hit these guaranteed resets by accident and you have to actively search and use them.
All I can say is, what do you expect when you put an unblockable launching ambush in the game lol. This was always bound to become an issue eventually and we all knew it
【QRT of R1p‘s Arena (@R1ps_Arena):】

Like to me it's the fact that it took this long for someone to use it
That’s the…. Entire point of the kameo lol
And if it's a Sindel only thing. Then that's even weirder. Since a lot of people think it shouldn't be unblockable.
I somewhat doubt when NRS designed Jax kameo they said, "Let's give Jax guaranteed TOD resets that a handful of the cast can do"
It’s not a TOD
It’s a setup exactly how he was designed. It’s an unblockable setup that’s just designed poorly
I saw that both Kitana and Tanya can do it. But only at the very begining of a combo
I guess Sindel is dangerous because she can do it later in the game
Combo*
We got another one y’all 😂🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️

Is flawless blocking the only way out for the Kenshi player here?
I think so, Kenshi does the same setup all the time with sento 2 into kenshi f22
but it looks like lao messed his timings up a bit so he could neutral duck the beginning part of 121 since its a high
with the right timing he can jail it tho
https://vxtwitter.com/TweedyMK/status/1721070484442255558?t=1z6dnoDiCbo_blDMiirdVg&s=19
Figured out why I can't play Lao
Dev interview about Omni Man
Wow
That's why I play him
LMFAO
I’ve been saying I think he’s the most fitting guest character of all time
https://vxtwitter.com/SonicFox/status/1721902748285943823?t=Y92hrGiASeuFTXqy8Ff2Nw&s=19
Alright time to pack it up
If Kitanas grab hits the same frame as her trap, the unblockable setup unscales causing a TOD lol

Sonic out here just doing shit with all the characters I do not play.
Who's gonna be on in 40min?
I need to test my new Shang Tsung
Ok
Why is Shang not top tier?
He's got good zoning, good dmg, somewhat good mids, D3 is a war crime
All he doesn't have is an easy way to play him
If you ask me. It's because the top tiers do it mostly better than he does. Minus like Johnny and Ashrah
Because they do different things really stupid
Kitana, Liu, and Lao
Are the ones I compare to him
He does about everything they do, but doesn't lean in any specific way.
Lao is closer to like rush down and also doesn't take a high school diploma to play. While he does do less damage, I think he has a much easier way of opening them up.
Liu is close to Shang but definitely better mids and a fireball that breaks fireballs. And stupid good stagger pressure. Bonus points because he has a proper anti air instead of spikes for air moves that aren't dive kicks
And Kitana is more of the zoner with different arcs for her fans and really good buttons and whiff punishing. While also having pretty good damage.
Because the top tiers have more BS than Shang does
Or what snake said
He summed that shit up real fast
If just having stuff made characters good the KOF tier list would put Robert at S instead of like Iori
Shang is good but not top tier. Kitana is better at pretty much everything than Shang
Cool...
I'm still playing him tho
Anyone on rn?
Am I the only one who thinks the scorpion invasion skins are 90% garbage
No
Yes.
They are AT LEAST 95% garbage
Ok, pinging again
@MK Matchmaking
@wind hedge @tough rock
@subtle oyster @vague creek
Don't feel excluded
I think I only like Johnny's
And that's probably because he's got no face tattoos
True
Those tattoos are really weird
Read the name
I'll be down to play in like 2 hours
Ping me plz
You did play me with that name 2 times
Do a third
Will do
@kindred osprey wanna play?
Will do
Creating room
I honestly didn't think B12 was punishable
Its like-14 or something in young form
OVERHEAD
Oh shit
I have no idea how to play Raiden
I'm learning
CHIP
Ohhhhh
Thought I could whiff punish
I'm still getting used to having two movesets
Oh shit
It worked
I don't get how I got thrown out of every single D1
Wow
I didn't even see D1s
Aw
I see raw supermans incoming...
How did that miss?
Lmfao
This game refuses to let me use a breaker
Also I simply can't play a kameo that lowers my health
I noticed
I was like "FUUUUUCKKKKKK HE RECOVERED IN TIME"
I spammed that input too
I gave you the answer to Goro
That shit hit SO high
Isn't that his klassic fatality?
Ok!
Ggs
Yeah
Shang isn't match for Raiden yet
GGs!!!!!
Super fun games
I am happy with Shang either way
Still getting used to him tbh
If these leaked patchnotes ive seen are real, you may need a new kameo with Shang
I kinda doubt it because I've never heard of a leaked patch before
I mean, Frost and Sub do exactly the same I'm using Sareena for
@tough rock
Do that to me in a match
Man he dropped the combo too
And I refuse to use meta kameos so I won't use Lao
Motaro should do the same
I hate Scorpion SO BAD
Fuck Scorpion
There just isn't a more annoying character than Scorpion
Omfg
Not even Johnny is THAT bad
Raiden is...
I hate Raiden
But Scorpion is getting there

Can't wait to see this
If this was MK11 Scorpion I'd agree with you
Scorpion counters your playstyle pretty hard I would assume Luna
He is just annoying af
Looping combos and that fucking Spears
I'd say don't let him hit you
The "whole thing" is he really has trouble opening people up
Ask the scorpion player
What is annoying you about him?
The spear is really fucking fast this game lol
The fast af spear. I jump from FULL SCREEN to do an air fireball or whatever
And the fucking thing catches me and full comboes.
But then I think: "Ah, I'll just duck it."
Nope. He also has a nearly full screen low.
And that mid knee attack
Not only it staggers, but the fuck also launches into big combo.
ALSO
That fucking spinning scythe attack that does more chip than Baraka and Raiden together
Along with Sektor or smt, that shit is nuts
Fun fact if you stand block it you can punish that
I also just don't really like Kuai Liang
The spear? Or the spinning attack?
Hm...
Interesting
Very interesting
There's a few things like that I ended up figuring out
I have no idea what Shang can do
But Mileena probably ball rolls that
The spear?
Or the spin
Also... I think I can punish that on block
But I was talking about the spin
Nah you can probably just jab combo him if you're close enough
Oh, true
Depending on who you’re playing as you generally wanna space him to be just outside his 2 range or pressuring him in his face
You don’t wanna be full screen chucking fireballs. Many characters can punish his super long sweep
His 2 range is bigger than any Shang button
I honestly might just learn how to play Scorpion and morph into him whenever I fight him as Shang.
Shang might struggle in this mu
He’s a counter zoner
And you’re a zoner
Who’s your kameo?
OH
I wanted to comment
Felt REALLY proud of what I did today
Was fighting an Ashrah
Won 3-2
But the last match, I won both rounds by beating them with Ashrah as well
LMFAO
Was Sareena
But looking back, Sub might've been the play
The problem with my Shang is...
I just cannot transform mid combo yet
Don't have the execution yet
Stealing the other persons soul and beating their ass with their own character is the best feeling in all of fighting games
Old Shang gonna have to carry in this mu imo
Yes.
True...
I could just be Old 100% of the time
Yo
Air down fireball is oppressive af
People don't know how to deal with it
It's his regular fireball but just from the air
Nah nah
The Old Shang one
Yean
Have you tried spamming it?
Back jump fireball
It's his regular fireball isn't it unless you EX it
It hits.
Every. Time.
Not a fan of over using those fireballs
Nah bro
Spam that shit
Y
I'll go to Kof beat you up.
2 reasons, New KOF character next week I'm excited. Then I got tired of losing hard in MK flavor. So not I'm losing harder in KOF
Go to SF for now
You weren’t losing hard tho
That's how it felt, working on that mindset somewhat. But it felt I lost quite often very one sided.
In Kof, you can feel 3 sided
Yeah, but I want to enter a tournament for KOF still
Ohhhhhh
Good luck!
Even if I am pretty unsure about my skill there
But MK felt like I was tackling something I didn't and don't understand
Yoooooo
New season today or tmw?
||Noob and Male Chameleon|| 99% confirmed
Also MK1 has already sold almost 3 million copies
With 3-4 years support you know who that means will be dlc @subtle oyster
If the new season is tomorrow I probably won't be there since Gran Blue beta starts tomorrow as well
That an open or closed beta?
Open
Crossplay is coming to the second #GBVSR open beta!
And that's not all—get ready for playable Anila, lobby matches, training mode, and, of course, Grand Bruise Legends! Are you in?
👇 Check out the details here:
https://rising-betatest.granbluefantasy.jp/en/
💖 3600
Imma check it out despite knowing nothing about Gran Blue
Anime SF
That's what I heard and I kind of see it
Only "negative" depends on the person. I see is that it's all one button specials even though you can do the inputs
They just wanted to make it as accessible as possible
Custom intros
Some of these had me rolling
SILENCE SUCCUBUS and Umshawty got me
Yeah those were great
Frost also getting Kung Lao rejected was great too
I lol’d at that one
Screw it the whole thing got me rolling
Mileena roasting Lao, Goro being clueless, the 4 Lao's and the neck snap reference.
Only thing missing was a Liu Kang and Raiden intro
Goro liking the fruity things
I watched part 6 and found out the costume, theater, and Umgadi references
The voices were made by Elevenlabs.io
This shit is hilarious
Omni man has a full screen instant overhead lmao
And an advancing mid
Multiple meterless launchers
Great damage
His viltrumite stance makes him immune to both projectiles and attacks
And gets air dash movement
And air teleport
We hath found the pay to win character
You can change tremor variations mid fight
Tremor crystalline armor let’s you absorb attacks and let you punish anything
Literally Doomsday from Injustice 1
Tremor’s interesting cause on paper a lot of stuff is busted, but normally it’s all summon assists which is pretty bad, but he can make any move an ambush assist by switching variations during it which is busted, but doing so costs the full assist meter which is pretty bad.
Will have to see how quick his stuff recharges.
Yeah that’s kinda what I was thinking
Anyone trying to play MK sometime today?
I’m gonna wait until tomorrow
I didn't watch the cast, did they hint at another balance patch dropping tomorrow or just a small Omni Man one?
I don’t think they’re dropping balance patch just releasing Omni man
Damn
I just want Sub to not suck
Have you not just tried flawless victoring with sub?
Is he stupid
Look
BRUH LMFAO #omniman #Mortalkomat1
💖 2
Does anyone else think that Tanya is the same thing?
Or has rather
I don't understand why people act like this is the worst thing
I get it does it to projectiles. If it doesn't cost EX. That's one thing
People freak out about everything
Alright I'm not insane
F32 can obviously be beaten by low poking or ducking, however with Sektor you get some huge damage off flamethrower trades!
#MK1_Scorpion
💖 39
OH
So that's how you beat F32?
Good to know
I think I'm just gonna cave in and use sub with sareena
Scorpion truly is the reverse sub zero in this game
Both low tier
Both bad for very different reasons
Also someone may need to train me if they can
Because for whatever reason, MK is the only FG I play that I cannot play decently
The fact that I can play games like SF, Tekken, GG, DnF, etc etc. To an average to above average level at least but play absolutely dogshit in NRS bothers me so much lmao
I can do my best to help
You play Sub, right?
@tough rock is the Sub expert here
And @subtle oyster the general coach
If you wanna play a Ninja tho, I'd say Reptile and Smoke are the best
It's nothing character specific. I can't do simple shit like hit confirms
Says the Reptile main
LMFAO
Like I can't do F12 into deadly vapours consistently. Which is wild to me because I can do really frame perfect stuff in SF...
Boom loops, Perfect Knuckle, Perfect TB? Easy
MK is buffer HEAVY imo
For example, a jump in.
You press the j. 2 and you have to INSTANTLY press the string you want to go for
Even before your char even hits the j. 2
Stupid ass string into special, can't do shit
But how am I supposed to know if it hit or not
Like I don't wanna do an unsafe special if they blocked it
You play on pad right?
Not using the analog at all helps me a lot doing specials in MK
Yeah I don't use analog for any FGs except platform ones
I also turned on advanced inputs because I'm more familiar with them over the simply MK system
Also maybe MK inputs are really precise? Like I can't afford to either mash or correct myself mid string like other FGs
Idk if any shortcuts exist either
Advanced inputs are not the way
It's significantly easier to use the regular system even it's weird to get used to
Also another weird thing I just can't seem to do. F12 deadly vapours EX > F12 Deadly vapours EX
The second one simply won't come out and I can't tell why
The specials can be done after the string, no need to buffer them
Just takes time getting used to doing the specials from strings tbh
I hated when I started
Doing pretty better now
AH
Have you deactivated the Release Check?
Helps A LOT
I only really use it for the front back specials. Them shits are weird
You never played a charged character?
Hm, I'd say to do your best to just get used to it. Luna makes the point you just gotta be fast.
Yeah I have. First thing I was told to do lmao
I mean I'm usually fine in training mode. But the second I'm in the match and I do land a F12 I can't seem to get the special off consistently
Yeah, hell I jump trying to throw fireball
YEAH
That is smt I struggle with sometimes too
Don't mash. Ever. If you wanna press F12, hold F and press 12.
Don't double press anything
It would be fine if it was just an occasional error but it happens often
Might just be a precision thing because I do have a habit of just rolling my fat thumbs over my controller lmao
It hasn't been a problem in any other FG but NRS games be punishing me for it
Yeah I'm part of the fat finger club
Idk what Deadly Vapors is, but like
Press F12, and if you see it hitting you can press the special
Like, buffer the F12 and confirm the special
I'd really say just try practicing it more in like casuals or friend matches
Even though I know you're on PC so I don't know how it is.
It's the special that sub uses to hold people in place
I'm on PS
We've played before Tyler lmao
We played in SF
Yeah SF
That has crossplay. I thought you were on PC
No no, I'm on PS
I was in the KoH once for this game while you were there
Never got to play you because I couldn't win shit lmao
Oh, right.
I have the memory of a goldfish with memory issues
We should play at some point
Yeah probably
I keep playing my one friend who's really good and getting my ass beat
He's getting revenge for what I did to him in DnF
I wouldn't really do double EX Vapors. I do it once to turn a single stand 1 or 2 into a full combo but it using it twice in the same combo isn't worth it
Oh I know, it's not worth it at all
But I'm sure other characters do it but I wouldn't be able to
Wtf even is Vapors
The move where he stops you in place
It tracks and freezes the ground
Oh yeah that move
Very common meter extender for sub as it leads to a B2
The special where Sub slightly slows down his opponent. EX is a free full combo
Atrocious scaling tho
One of the many beta casualties
RIP
I assume playing sub isn't helping my experience either
But I need to learn one of the basic ninjas of the game and I usually pick sub
And apparently scorpion isn't doing much better
Nah, keep it up. He'll be buffed and S tier at some point
OH
Ok
This move
I love sub's gameplay because I like my defensive characters
And the damage doesn't bother me as much (although it sucks)
It's the klone that hurts
None of this matters if I can't do simple shit anyway 😭
You will
MK takes A LOT of time getting used to
Took me much more than Kof and even Melty
Even Melty? Ain't that just anime game but shield button?
KoF was definitely too hard for me
For someone who never played any anime game, Melty was hard
Ah that'll do it.
I went from SF directly to Melty
Lmao
You played so many fighting games. I thought you would've played anime games
Nope
Don't really like them
Air movement galore
Melty is the only one I liked
This is the part where I plug Skullgirls
I did buy one BlazBlue on Steam years ago
Central Fiction, I think
Didn't really like it
Played like
2 or 3 days and gave up
The part where I plug Skullgirls again
Never played skullgirls
But I didn't like the look of any of the characters
Except the funny trombone fridge thing
Fucking Big Band. I can never escape him
It's home to some of my favorite fighting game characters ever
Skullgirls 2nd Encore (2015)
💖 2049
Like the best zoner to ever exist
And she's an asshole
This is what it feels like for me fighting Kitana
Is kitana a zoner?
Yeah, zoning and whiff punishing
https://vxtwitter.com/DavidElliott720/status/1722604964042682584?t=31VFGoNMQfzekqJF_-MO9Q&s=19
I've never seen a community hate neutral more than the MK1 players
Lmao, DBFZ players be like
"Do anything to win" that's just gotta be someone who's never played a game before
Me when people are trying to do ranked in a competitive game
Also I'm sure this is being said already but Omni man looks OP
I love my dodge/parry characters and Omni man's autododge shit is so cool
Damn you never tried Tanya?
She has a parry
She has "stocks" she has to charge to get a teleport. And parry charged that as well as having the follow up of the teleport or a push back
As well has having the best/2nd best mid in the game
Hmm interesting
I'll have to see
Because I don't really care for her
Also, would crystalline armour blow through ice klone? Cause if so, imma cry
If Omni man will block lows then it'll have that over Tanya
I think you get that grab after it
The one where he slams you into the ground and chucks you into the air
So far that was always the default response post dodge
But I'm not entirely sure if it's a hitgrab or not. That will greatly change how it's used
Since like, Tanya's counter is essentially up block for mids
I assume it works with highs and overheads as well?
Yeah
It'll work against Johnny's overhead string for sure but you'd probably have to lab it to see if you have time to put up the counter
Casuals pretty much
They usually get roasted on Reddit for posting shit like that
None of the Kombat League rewards this season look interesting to me
(I won’t have to grind to demi-god for a Kenshi sword like I did last season)
@subtle oyster
The classic NRS top tier nerf
I called it lol
I literally said they’re gonna hit his health for 50hp
Oh shiiii
OH SHITTTTT
Oh shit
I mean, she didn't have those pants iirc...
The Kitana Skin and Mileena Sai are acquirable via Shrine, right?
Is Invasions already out?
I'm excited to play it tbh
I loved Invasions Season 1
Kitana skin is in shrine, had enough coins that I’ve already emptied it lol
Tyler says yes Season 2 MK
No not particularly.
But I'll hop in once I get my KOF fill.
I'm getting there again
Also if anyone figured out what the klue is for “splish splash in the first mesa lmk.
First klue (body blender) is doing Kenshi’s second fatality and third klue (yzark tihstab) is doing nitara’s first fatality
Still don't know what I'm gonna do with Liu though
Messed around with the shaolin monks pairing and Liu with Lao is a lot of fun
Rain maybe?
Alright who wants this day 0, no Kombat Kast watched, Omni Man hands?
When I get done paying this bill perhaps
In like 10 minutes
Internet sucks right now
Wife's on a zoom job interview so it sucks
So @subtle oyster Li Mei Lao is literally just zoning and like no damage right?
Tried both of rains fatalities and gave up after that
Another Klue just reads “Home Run” and has me stumped
What klues?
Lag switching before the game even starts smh
I haven’t seen how the klues work so I can’t be of much help unfortunately but I figured I’d try anyways lol
Pretty much yeah. Your biggest damage is gonna be off lantern setups
Damn
If I wanted to be toxic I'd pull my ethernet cord and just play on jacked wifi
Especially jacked since the zoom interview
Like toss that fucker and when it gets behind them you can combo them off 124 or something
Yeah
Forgot how lame zoning Lao is
Bro is a dork when you use him like how he's supposed to be used
Go ahead and invite me when you get the chance
Koth?
Tyler?
@wind hedge can you host a koth until my wife's zoom meeting is done?
Oh sure sure
I'll dip if it's too bad
Invasions is fun af
Joined
Sorry, was in Invasions
Yo
Do the ranks really reset?
My card still says VII there
Holy poke range
Well, Omni man certainly has a level of crack head to him
With his mid being that
Or rather that special
Also, this character select screen showing the other dlc characters is epic teasing
Will hop in too
No execution
Also guess you left or lagged out?
And game died
Ummm what happened?
Ah yeah that'll do it.
Desynchronized
Press it at like the same time
That's hard af bro
Lmao
No execution
I need Frost, Sub or Sareena to confirm with young and turn into old
She just like me fr
Eesh
Luna you press 2 buttons
4 and stance
You can go past level 100?
And F and D
I did
Lmao
Thought they'd send me back to Lv1
They didn't.
I am just leveling past 100
Broken ass characted
LMFAO
Well I have no right talk you actually beat him with Shang
That's the neat part
@subtle oyster biggest tease in recent memory for me will be if/when Jade gets announced and I have to look at her locked icon on the character select screen for what will seem like an eternity
The double wakeup armor knee....
Why will you need to look at the locked icon?
They updated the character select screen
Meant a 10 for the respect, double armored wakeup deserves nothing less
Omni-Man mid screen bnb with Jax
